New Wage Record Established
In Georgia in '57 Says Huiet
Commissioner of Labor Ben T.
Huiet reports that wages of all
non-farm workers in this area
helped Georgia establish a new
wage record, $3,000,000,000 (bil
lions), during 1957. This is SIOO.-
000,000 (millions) more than in
1956. Workers in insured employ
ment numbered over 718,000 in
June 1957. Statewide insured
wages were in excess of $2.3 (bil
lion) in fiscal year 1957, a gain
of over $200,000,000 (millions)
more than in 1956.
The information is revealed in
the Commissioner’s 21st annual
report to Governor Marvin Grif
fin and the General Assembly.
These facts point up the major
strides which Georgia made in
dustrially last year, resulting in
greater purchasing power of the
State’s residents.
The Department of Labor’s em
ployment service office serving
this county is located at Waycross
It also serves Charlton, Clinch,
Pierce and Ware and Wayne
counties.
This office, managed by Ashley
Goldwire, assisted employers in
filling 1,529 non-farm jobs in
1957. During this same time, em
ployers. hired through the local
office workers to fill 3,454 farm
jobs. The state total of non-farm
job placements for 1957 is over
106,000, while statewide farm
placements totaled 129,270.
During the year job insurance
payments totaling $26,930,485
were made to unemployed Geor
gians. This is $1,101,968 more than
was paid out in 1954, making
1957 Georgia’s peak year in job
insurance. Over 4.5 per cent of
all payments made in the State
were to workers for whom em
ployers filed claims because full
time work was not available and
for which the workers received
wages less than their weekly job
insurance amount. Payments
ranged from one dollar to S3O
per week. Some 36,400 workers
were . laid off by employers in
large groups because of plant
shut-downs for various reasons:
over-inventory, fires, completion
of contracts and such.
During 1957 $16,704.00 in job
insurance were paid to unem
ployed workers in Brantley coun
ty. At present there are 36 un
employed workers drawing job
insurance on claims filed in
Brantley county
“In spite of the fact that 1957
saw the highest year in unem
ployment in the history of job
insurance (since 1938) in the
state, the purchasing power of
our non-farm workers was at its
highest in our history. The fact
that insured wages during the
last fiscal year were up over
$200,000,000 (millions) means that
our economy is becoming more
and more industrialized; that, ge
nerally speaking, Georgia’s stan
dard of living is being raised and
that our times are charactered by
an increasing economic stability,”
the Commissioner stated.

Soil Survey Map
Is Guide for
Clearing Land
By J. W. CALHOUN
Land clearing for cultivation
and pasture is a common practice
in the Satilla River Soil Conser
vation District. Since this oper
ation is expensive it would be
wise for the land owner to study
the capability of his land that is
to be cleared to determine if it
would be advisable. It is obvious
that much land that has been
cleared should have remained
in trees for woodland products
production.
Any farmer or land owner in
Pierce County is eligible for a
Soil Survey map interpreted in
terms of land capability on his
farm. This map can be obtain
ed by a farmer or land owner
by applying for a farm plan
through the Satilla River Soil
Conservation District. Theodore
Frisbie, Work Unit Conservation
ist for Pierce County, uses the
Soil Survey maps interpreted in
terms of land capabilities as a
basis for developing soil conser
vation farm plans and assisting
farmers and land owners in the
county with their soil conservat
ion problems. The Soil Scient
ist who makes the map as well
as the work unit conservation
ist are both employees of the
Soil Conservation Service, work
ing in cooperation with Soil Con
servation Districts.
The Soil Survey map is very
helpful in planning the best use
and treatment of each acre of
the farm. If more land needs to
be cleared for cultivation, the
map indicates the best land that
could be cleared. If- .more land
is needed for pasture, the land
that is best adapted for pasture
can be determined by studying
the map.
Land that has a hardpan, or
is very sandy, or is badly erod
ed does not have as much tree
and brush growth on it as better
land does. Therefore, it is often
easier and cheaper to clear low
productive land than land with
a higher capability and more pro
ductive capacity. I have seen
this land “that is often easy to
clear” disappoint formers in its
capability to produce, and the ex
perience results in the farmer
saying, “this land should never
have been cleared in the first
place.” The soil and capability
map is an excellent guide in a
voiding such mistakes.
Land that has had the expense
of clearing should be capable of
producing a profit in the use that
is selected for it. If the land pro
posed for clearing has a hardpan,
or is too sandy, or is very wet,
and too poor or is impractical
to drain, it is likely that the best
use for such land is forestry and
that it should not be cleared for
cultivation, or pasture. Your
soil and capability map should
be used as a guide and your work
unit conservationist should be
consulted before deciding on the
land that could be profitably
cleared for cultivation and past
ure.

SPENT FOR PATIENT AID AS EPIDEMICS
Children
Possible
By Mrs. B. A. Lightsey
Educational texts are overflow
ing with articles on how to give
children successful experiences.
Nothing is more satisfying than
success, but what are we doing
for those who meet failure?
Inability to meet failure can
be a determining factor in men
tal illness. Since all of our pup
ils are bound to meet some de
gree of failure throughout their
lives, we are obligated to give
them the tools to use in such
a situation.
The best tool is a healthy en
vironment and encourage them to
try a little harder if at first
they have failed and help them
understand that the important
thing is not failure itself, Taut
rather, how they meet that fail
ure.
Another point in meeting fail
ure is how to acquire and deve
lop winning ways. To be liked we
must like. We cannot expect peo
ple to like us unless we in turn
like them. Most of us are incom
plete in this respect and need so
to speak and take stock of our
selves.
Think of others, perhaps we
are emotionally upset and often
times we may not think of oth
ers. If you, want people to like you
forget about you and think of
them, in terms of their hopes, as
pirations and desires. If you want
to win them and help them solve
their problems, listen to them ra
ther than talk and help them find
the answer to their problem.
Try to show them the need for
having hope, faith and charity in
what ever they undertake and
then the failure won’t hurt them,
for they are understanding the
value of failure or success.
The parents should see that the
children have healthy environ
ment too. Their health helps de
termine how well the children
can take failure.
